I don't still have the bracelet, but as best I can remember heating and bending the plastic did not significantly weaken it. (P.S. I don't have the bracelet because I was careless and lost it, not because it broke. :-)

Thanks! If you want to prevent the pieces from falling of the board while still letting the board fold in half to be stored in the box, you can cut the metal strip in half at the hinge of the Monopoly board. This should let the board fold while still working to hold pieces on the board.

Yes, it is! Glad you caught that. Someone might've ended up with an entire bathtub full of slime! I'm sure their kids would have had fun but it would be hard to clean up. Thank you for commenting, and, yes, I fixed it! :-)
